Miss R Sterlini and Mr M Baldwin
Callum Russell. The participation in clubs
and activities outside of school is as
impressive as in the Autumn Term. Several
of the boys support rugby and football clubs,
as well as playing for the clubs in school:
Toby Dyer plays for the U12 Cardiff City
football team and the Sully A team; Ryan
Packer plays for the U13 Cogan team;
Benjamin Hayes also plays for the Sully A
team and in the Penarth U12 rugby team;
Matthew Hocking is involved with the All
Penarthian rugby club and Sully B football
team, recently winning the accolade of ‘Most
Improved Player; Callum Russell plays for
the U12 Penarth rugby team, as does
Matthew Frost who also plays with the
Cogan U13 football team and the U13 cricket
team in Penarth!
In other sports, Katy Cutts has been moved
up another half grade in horseriding;
Josephine Harris has been promoted to
level P6 in Cardiff Swimming Club – she can
cover 50m in an impressive 35 seconds!
She’s also pretty fast on dry land, coming 3 rd

Kieran Murphy and Jozef Bailey both
swim in Cogan swimming club, and Jozef is
also training as a rookie lifeguard. Jamie
Locke-Jones is a member of the Cardiff
Kayak Club enjoying the facilities at the
National White Water Centre. Katie Streets
was involved in a sporting appearance of a
different sort, further adding to her televised
appearances: at a recent international cricket
match in Cardiff Wales Stadium, shown on
Sky Sports, she walked out as mascot with
New Zealand captain Ross Taylor.
There has also been much involvement in the
arts: Eleanor Rose-Griffiths took part in the
High Schools concert in St David’s Hall
earlier this year; Matthew Hocking came 1 st in
the Art competition in the school Eisteddfod;
Matthew Frost found time between sporting
activities to pass grade 4 piano with merit and
grade 3 theory also with merit; Georgia Davies,
Holly Keith, Lily Sellick, Connie Shah, Katie
Streets are all members of the school’s drama
club, and of course a huge number of the form
sang their hearts out in the Year 7 concert in
May. Well done to all in 7R – have a welldeserved
summer break and all the best for Year
8!
